Many apologies for so long out of contact. The fact is I've been extremely busy setting up a Renewable Energy business here, and really the car has been performing superbly in the last couple of years.
However, unfortunately it has just developed two big problems:
- I first noticed it was losing water, and having looked underneath it seems to be coming from the union of several cooling hoses at the back of the engine. It seems to be a plastic-type connector- I cant quite be sure exactly where the leak is coming from- it may be from the old hose "cap" or kind of stump thing, that you can see in the pictures, but i'm tempted to replace the entire unit.
- The other problem, i think has been caused by the hot water dripping onto the gaiter for the steering rack. I guess this is pretty serious and it will fail it's MOT (ITV in spain) due shortly.
Many thanks
Larry
